Straight headed to Tanjong Malim with Sheng and Rizqin after concert on 19th March (Sunday) - last minute plan, although I didn't manage to catch up with the alumni big band event, but still it is time to take a look at old friends and all the things I missed. ' I love crazy students ... ' said Prof Zaharul during the talk. Yes, I love crazy friends too because they know my illness way too well. I love to have them laugh out loud at my silliness, being sarcastic, energetic, loving, supportive, honest, strict, happy, lazy, hilarious, creative, noisy etc. They see me differently from what I see in myself at some point, in good and bad.

13th March 2016, Sunday - The Art of Playing talks by Lertkiat Chongjirajitra and Brett Stemple @ Sri KL International School My private lesson with Brett #13 was on the day before the talks, everything seemed like a revision to me on the day after.

Dear Rose, 4th - 6th March 2016, Klpac Orchestra's A Celebration of Chinese Music @ klpac It was Klpac Orchestra's 10th Anniversary and my first concert performance at the Klpac. Things that I have been thinking of coming true really do happen in real life, little by little, kind of unbelievable. Ten years ago, I started to want music; ten years later, things never get easy still, in fact, the further I travel, the bigger the possibilities I see in infinite. What about chances? Thank you, Klpac, orchestra and friends, my family too. I apologize since I would not know how much I can do to pay off, while I am greedily in need for more, in order to continue doing things that I am doing. I do ask myself, if I get a chance to rewind, would I still do the same? Yes, even harder. In a world of dreamers, we all been through feeling of loneliness but nobody is ever alone. What if I can travel in timeline and see how our faith goes? I don't wanna miss a thing . Toddlers frequ
